Bud Spencer and Terence Hill have been announced as the 2019 UK ambassadors for Video Cassette Day, which celebrates independent video libraries around the country.
The duo follow a promotional cardboard standee of Charles Bronson in the role.
The stars. who featured in many unrented Guild Home Video films said, "The bar's been set at a new height," Terence tells the world.
"I didn't want it to change me but I think it might have," Bud adds. "It's definitely put a spring in my step."
Bud Spencer and Terence Hill's left-field take on action comedy first hit screens in 1967 after appearing in other things in Italy
This is the action comedy duo's first official outing as Bud Spencer and Terence Hill for more than five years.
Since their last film together Bud Spencer has died.
Despite saying they'd "love to put out" live shows and a video they recorded in New York "at some point", the duo say their Video Cassette Day duties are, for now, a one-off appearance.
It's fair to say they're taking their role seriously though.
Bud and Terence say they're on a mission to get the nation to "slow down and get physical".
Bud remembers his "formative years" discovering films at Xtravision: "It's about chatting to the people behind the desk, the people you bump into in the shop... it's a magical journey, a pilgrimage."
He says that whereas now you "turn on the digital tap and video just comes out", it's not like that with V2000 cassettes."
"You've got to get over this hump of effort with video recorders - it makes you choose differently."
"You're fighting for attention and that's why it's important places like these exist."
Terence says it's nice to go through somebody's Betamax porn collection, too.
"If you were on a date or you'd just met someone, you could have a peak at their collection and think 'Oh, this isn't going to work'."
To celebrate their role as UK ambassadors, it was previously announced that the duo's original films will be available undubbed on VHS for the first time.
They made their débuts in 1967 in "God Forgives... I Don't!"
"It was on in the afternoon after the sports news... the critics hated our films," Bud says.
Terence adds: "They'd be talking about how Spurs were playing then he'd go, 'Anyway, now we've got... I don't even know what this is'.
"Then our films would come on to a load of angry football fans."
As fans of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill might expect, they've also got a more surreal ambassadorial offering.
"We can come to people's houses and provide a personal service," Terence offers.
"We'll push a Sony C7, complete with a BetaStack, into people's faces and make them smell and feel the chunky 1980s mechanical workaround introduced to get passed the limits of being only able to record for just over 3 hours on a single L750 cassette."
"We might also melt some tapes down and make shoes out of it. There could be some hats and broaches?
"We're here for you, we're here for all of video libraries and shops. Well... all the independent ones in the UK."
Video Cassette Day takes place on 13 April
